a petits pas (Ages 2-3) Native French Speakers

Toddlers learn, laugh, and play en français better in person!

Small classes with strict safety guidelines are offered in person at FIAF to meet the needs of parents and children. Offered in the bright and spacious classrooms in FIAF’s beautiful Upper East Side building, the à petits pas program promotes a gentle French immersion experience in small groups to ensure individual attention for each child.

Our year-round à petits pas program encourages your petit to discover the language through a structured curriculum based on a child’s daily life, enriched with games, songs, dance, and arts-and-crafts. Classes are offered for toddlers who are new to French as well as those growing up in a French-speaking family. Our qualified and experienced teachers will make each class engaging and fun for your child.

Our program this Fall will include topics such as introducing yourself, family, circus, farm animals, seasons, animals of the savanna, princes and princesses… among many other fun themes!

à petits pas for Native French-Speakers 

Designed especially for children already immersed in French through their parents or nanny, these classes are perfect for further developing a child’s French language skills while nurturing his/her multiculturalism.

Age 2–3

As your child is already familiar with French, à petits pas for native French speakers will give them the opportunity to interact and start speaking in French with other children of their age. Through arts-and-crafts projects, songs, stories, and movement, your child will become more and more confident expressing himself in French. Toddlers practice lively routines in French that demonstrate the French savoir faire.

Note:

• One parent or caregiver must attend class with the child.
• à petits pas (age 1) is not required to take à petits pas (age 2).
